I am doing better than I thought and I hear That people now are beginning to notice me After thousands of poems which leads me to say All I have done is be here to write of my stay If only in my tea-drinking maiden-aunt way But there is a side of me they will never see Since I cannot let them nor anyone that near
I want before I die to write great poetry Because I have lived a life of meaninglessness And whatever meaning is it seems it would be Something which feels like the contentment of success
And yet what does anything mean ultimately? I sit here on my bed with my cat at my side Wondering whether or not I should make more tea Wondering deeper what might the world make of me I will embrace the honor but will shun the pride A maiden-aunt's first dance first kissed by fate tonight Let fire fall and light lance me and I will burn bright
So people now are beginning to notice me Since I am doing better than they thought I guess But there is a side of me they will never see Because I have lived a life of meaninglessness
Maiden-aunts come and dance by the light of the moon Success has not come yet but they say it might soon
I will second what Karla said. Your life is not meaningless. Your writings have moved me. They will move others. Don't give up on life. It's too precious.
God Bless,
Lew
